But why did you change your username is the real question here.

I know that you cant update this, but honestly, it is in some points misleading and it does not include a lot of important aspects of why capture device x is actually recommended. Also, the Elgato HD60s is not the most used device but rather the HD60 (the actual pcie capture card). Dropping frames also has rarely something to do with a capture card itself, even my cheapo 10€ capture device does not drop any frames, so recommending it based of that is not ok. Capture devices are a complex topic and as previous posters mentioned, you are missing a lot of devices and new speedrunners can be easily mislead by this thread and buy the wrong hardware. To come back to the HD60s, if the person just wants to capture HDMI and not output it on a low latency screen seperately, that person will deal with a lot latency on their preview, while if they just wanted to have the videofeed on their PC and play off it, the EL CHEAPO would have done the job for 10€ as well (not shipping included)

[quote]i sincerely hope you get unmodded[/quote] Unlike a good amount of moderators on the site, he actually moderates his games decently.

Sure, everyone does a slip up, but as the website still tanks really badly, I am sure at this point, that there is something else. Also nice first forum post. I hope you enjoy your stay on the forums :)

(It is quite interesting how the BFBB gang here did not post anything at all before interacting in here or at least not for years)

In any case, being toxic about it wont fix the sites performance. Who know, maybe the webserver actually just needs to be restarted. As long as Elo does not clarify what is causing this issue (they acknowledged it here: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/3t3qo/ ), piling up on someone who may have caused this, is just dumb and we should do better.

Okay hot take

Hear me out What if you would have moderators who can moderate? Funnily enough, in the games forums you can actually lock threads and moderate (unlike here)

Idk if that really killed the website on its own. I remember reading somewhere in the forums from an elo programmer, that something broke or they had a bug or something, so it might just be a coincidence.

But like, when? This is actually a quite severe change that heavily affects everyone

Well.

First of all no

Second of all this is not the minecraft forum. Please go to the minecraft leadeboards/discord to discuss that with them. I do not see any reason for a VR leaderboard to exist. Feel free to run it yourself anyways.

I too am a victim of not getting my own category. I feel like playing on a 17" display makes enough of a difference to warrant a seperate category/rules as I cannot even see the f3 screen on it.

LMAOOO

well thats kinda unlucky

Just type the category yourself and please next time, rather than necroing a very old thread, you should consider opening up a new thread as this is quite different to OP's problem.

Download the video and framecount

Sizzyl, the first thing he should do is open up the statistics page in OBS to see what type of lag and framedrops/encoding issues he has. Afterwards you can troubleshoot more. Additionally, we need to know the PC specs and the OBS settings to help out properly.

HDMI has HDCP, which needs to be stripped for some platforms (f.e. Ps3 has HDCP enabled and it cannot be disabled). A cheap HDMI splitter strips "unintentionally" the HDCP off the HDMI signal, therefore you can record the PS3.

You dont want to be a moderator, trust me.

Oh just fuck off with your necro.

Day 21312412 of asking for an improved forum.

No, because its a mobile game

Hi enjoy going fast :> You are doing perfectly fine, you are not familiar with any strats and just try to beat the game as fast as you can. That is the right idea and you will get better and learn more.

Try to not pass out, this sounds unhealthy. And perhaps you want to look at a speedrun for those games and try to learn a thing or two from the speedruns. Usually, joining their community discord (they often have a discord or some form of community platform) can be a first step to be a part of their and the speedrunning community. Also, if you do not like specific rules for leaderboards, remember, you can always run something without submitting it to a leaderboard. Also, sometimes rules you put up on yourself still comply to a category, so do not hesitate to submit to those leadearboards.

But yeah. HF.

There is the sound effect component, but it has not individual sound effects for each individual split (just splitting in general). You would have to code your own solution.

The thing with cheap capture devices is that they are hit or miss. The El cheapo and all of his friends (copies of the same chip) are proven to be stable and can be easily found. And funnily enough, most of the more expensive no name products just use the same internals and increase the price by a good amount.

Quite honestly, I would have expected someone to just post "no"

Gl with the resubmit
